Last Listing description (December 2025)

As you travel along River Road, just five minutes from Maleny's vibrant village, the landscape begins to unfold in a spectacular way. Gently undulating pastures stretch toward the horizon, glimpses of rainforest peek through natural corridors, and the air grows cooler and fresher. Rounding a peaceful bend, a discreet gateway appears, welcoming you to 617 River Road, an exceptional 36.23-hectare (approx. 89.5-acre) estate where biosecurity, rural productivity, and outstanding tourism potential unite.

This estate has been carefully managed for biosecurity and sustainability, making it ideal for both agricultural pursuits and nature-based tourism ventures. Secure fencing, 20 gravity-fed troughs, two spring-fed dams, and five irrigation pod systems ensure healthy livestock and thriving pastures. Functional cattle yards and a crush comfortably accommodate around 30 breeders. Mature avocado and lychee orchards present opportunities for additional income or agritourism activities. The property runs efficiently on a 15kW solar system (10kW on the home, 5kW on the shed), complemented by three 5,000-gallon rainwater tanks for household supply.

The elevated 1920s/30s character farmhouse offers panoramic views across the Glasshouse Mountains, Brisbane skyline, and Moreton Island. Inside, polished hoop pine floors, 10-foot ceilings, and art deco touches create a welcoming retreat. Three generous bedrooms (including a main with ensuite), two living areas with timber fireplaces, and reverse-cycle air conditioning provide comfort year-round. A spacious deck overlooks the countryside, perfect for morning coffees or sunset entertaining. A massive 18m x 9m six-bay shed with three-phase power and a separate double garage provide ample infrastructure for machinery, storage, or future tourism-related development.

What truly sets River Road apart is its eco-tourism and holiday accommodation potential (subject to council approval). Its private waterfall, lush rainforest pools, and direct access to a 500-hectare wildlife refuge make it an unparalleled location for cabins, glamping pods, or boutique retreats. Guests could wander shaded nature trails, swim beneath a 10+ metre waterfall, or observe vibrant native wildlife including Paradise Riflebirds, frogs, and gliders. The adjoining refuge, with its historic logging trails, offers endless opportunities for guided hikes, mountain biking, or nature tours, creating an immersive experience for visitors seeking adventure and tranquillity. The property's secluded feel, paired with its proximity to Maleny's cafes, boutique shopping, and the Sunshine Coast's beaches, and airport, makes it uniquely positioned to become a sought-after destination for nature-based tourism.

Despite its peaceful seclusion and no shared road access, 617 River Road remains wonderfully convenient, an ideal choice for lifestyle buyers, downsizers from larger farms, or entrepreneurs eager to establish a tourism-based enterprise.
